Bows forgotten Spanish-American solidarity: the aid to Malaga for the ‘riá’ of 1907

Abstract

In September of 1907 Malaga suffered a catastrophic flood that marked the memory of all his inhabitants. The aid of diverse American countries, especially Argentina, was immediate and materialized in the sending of donations that allowed, at the first moment, the humanitarian help and, later, the construction of housings for the flood-affected. The echo in the media of then allows to know now how these aids were managed and binds us to the memory of this solidarity that is still preserved in the streets of the city of Malaga.
